Kanpur: Neighbours have a tendency to discuss topic which bothers them collectively or individually. Sometimes they are also found talking on the matter distressing them unnecessarily. Two instances in order to show how they absorb themselves are being described here for one and all. Two respective women’s willingness to share some shocking situation with their neighbours turned into something close to embarrassment.
Normally women fail to restrain themselves from chatting on controversial matters before others without taking into consideration its consequences. Keeping flaws secretive is an admirable and upright idea; however, It is their deep-seated psychology to reveal the flaws which on several occasions damage their face value in some way or other.
Startlingly enough they seem to be attentive to precautions for dealing with any inconvenient conditions if these might occur. Along with this they also try to keep themselves ready for some kind of self-justification in the matters concerning them.
Whatever is concealed by the sensible women to overlook disgrace in the society does not last long as it practically seen over and over again. The ‘concealed matter’ becomes known to others sooner or later and our efforts to escape from others’ spiteful taunts prove futile accordingly.
In the neighbourhood, a mother of four daughters happily arranged her eldest conversant daughter’s marriage to a boy living in a nearby locality. She was immensely overjoyed as she was telling of it to every woman in her vicinity. Verily, this was a significant subject for her and it should obviously be. But as soon as this news broke out, the realistic facts of this new association between two separate distant families were released by her next-door perceptive neighbour subsequently.
As her plump neighbour was supposed to be familiar with the would-be groom’s family, she lost no time in disclosing the fact in regard to this agreement. She spoke her words clearly and spaced them distinctly. What became obvious from her stark revelation was that the friendship between the girl and the boy developed on the Face book that afterwards resulted in their engagement on the boy’s request to his parents.
What she wanted to stress was that this was not outcome of their parental efforts. On her revelation before others a new chat began among the neighbours who relished this conversation in a more dependable way. So, what was concealed by one family was no longer a topmost secret following disclosure of the startling fact by another family in the neighbourhood.
Why do we think of a matter to remain under wraps for long? No, it cannot possibly be. It is certainly our serious mistake because it, anyhow, reaches to the individuals. Likewise, one more similar case needs to be narrated here. A very shrewd mother of a young girl studying in the first year inter class narrated her sad story of how has her monetary matters turned sour owing to some unavoidable circumstances. As a result, she was forced to withdraw her daughter from the prestigious school. Her simple-minded neighbour thoroughly believed on her words.
A few days later it became known that her daughter left studies because she could not succeed in her class final examinations. She failed to score passing marks in two separate subjects. This truth was revealed by another perceptive woman residing in the neighbourhood. In order to obviate the possibility of leakage of the fact that cunning woman did exactly what the first woman in her daughter’s engagement case had described.
In one more case, an erudite woman had got habit of admiring his daughter’s intellect in verbose language and claimed of her higher points in the High School Board examinations. She used to condemn her neighbour’s daughter in studies. But, with declaration of results that woman had to face humiliation on account of her daughter’s lower marks while the neighbour’s daughter secured higher marks and she was gladly distributing sweets to the neighbours.
Individuals in society manage to find others’ veiled information as everybody cannot be friends at a time. So, this tendency always sustains enmity between two people which eventually forces one to criticise another. In this process of hostility, one leaves nothing in maligning one’s adversary. There is no scarcity of clever or stupid women enthusiastically busy in uncovering flaws of neighbouring families. That is why rational persons are overheard saying that not much more than half-an-inch away from each another what is secret for one comes to an abrupt end with its disclosure thereby directing us to regard as if ‘flaws’ had been sliced off by a cleaver.
